invites you to an
expedition exploring the
instrument flute, with a
focus on sounds and
playing techniques beyond
classical flute playing.
This journey requires
curiosity, playfulness,
imagination,
perseverance, and
patience. As a reward for
your efforts, you can be
certain that the journey
will be worthwhile,
regardless of how far you
wish to go. You will make
new discoveries and
experience previously
unknown sensations and
sounds. Throughout this
process, you will acquire
knowledge that will
benefit you directly or
indirectly, even if you
are performing
traditional tasks. The
edition is a valuable
resource for anyone
interested in the flute,
whether for instrumental
practice, composition, or
the intensive study of
this versatile instrument
and its sound worlds.
Gergely Ittzés presents
42 imaginative miniature
studies that lead the
reader into new worlds of
sound. His precise
instructions and
fascinating
interpretation of the
pieces make Ittzés'
Flute Expedition an
indispensable travel
companion. Ittzés is
deeply influenced by
Hungarian music and
continues the tradition
of Mikrokosmos (Bartók),
Fingerlarks (Veress) and
Játékok (Kurtág).
Ittzés is a reliable and
trustworthy artist when
it comes to playing and
performing the most
demanding flute
repertoire of our time.
He provides guidance and
inspiration for every
nuanced gesture, explicit
fingering, and technical,
acrobatic, and polyphonic
requirement. His latest
work offers a guide to
modern flute playing.
Additional material,
including explanatory
texts in English, German,
and Hungarian, as well as
notes on fingering
notation and symbol
legends, is available for
download at Schott. To
implement the techniques
used in this Flute
Expedition effectively,
accompanying video
material is also
available through the
edition. There is also an
opportunity to directly
contact the author and
discuss ideas and
experiences of using
Flute Expeditions with
other musicians in an
online group.
